Chapter 35

Beatrice picked at her clean fingertips, which was now pale. With her head lowered, she stared at the string of digits on her phone screen until it went blank, but her calls were not answered.

As her anxiety persisted, she bit her bottom lip until the shape of her beautiful lips changed while her cold pale face appeared frail.

For the first time in her life, she was panicking as she felt things were going out of control.

"Why didn't you answer my call earlier?" she muttered, feeling wronged and dissatisfied.

Joaquin glanced at the sleeping Katherine, whose cold expression softened under the dim light. Instead of appearing as icy as she had been in the past, her face appeared more tender.

Hearing Beatrice's complaint, he pursed his lips and gently replied, "I was busy. What happened? Who made you upset, hm?"

Beatrice's heart calmed a little when she heard his familiar tone and the unease she harbored was gone.
